I look forward to participating and sharing my passion for the brand we all love, and most of all getting to know everyone!How about my first wrist shot for the board!

SMP "Speedy" bracelet vs. Speedmaster "Speedy" bracelet
Over the years, Omega has offered the Seamaster Professional with two bracelet options: The basket weave Bond or the Speedy styled bracelet.Someone on another forum asked why the Speedy Pro (3570.50) bracelet seemed lighter than his SMP Speedy bracelet. FYI, here is the answer I shared.The only difference between the two bracelets is the clasp.Top view:Side views with the SMP on top:Side by side with SMP in the forefront:The design of the SMP bracelet makes it heavier. Note that the SMP clasp is longer and contains a diver expansion; i.e., more steel; ergo, more weight.As most of your know, I do not care for the ref. 1998 Speedy Pro bracelet due to the extreme arc of the clasp. The SMP clasp is flatter and wears more comfortably on my wrist.I also prefer the SMP Speedy bracelet over the Bond. I prefer the fit and taper of the Speedy. And over time the Bond links wear and become unsightly. The Speedy links are more easily maintained.

Just took possession of a speedmaster pro......got questions
Howdy folks, just got a nice Speedmaster on a 1499/842 bracelet.....sadly it's a bit too tight, so I'm in need of a spare link for it.Any place to source one?I put a wtb, but figure this thread would get more exposure.Thanks in advance.Sorry for the garbaggy pic....

Speedy Pro Question - Counting Hand Skipping when using Chronograph?
Greeting to fellow Speedy Pro owners!I observed a weird behavior on my Speedy Pro when the chronograph is used. The counting hand seems to skip a second or two every so often. In other words, the counting hand would stay at a particular second marker for two seconds, skip the next marker and jump directly to the one after that. Is it normal for a Speedy Pro?

5711 bracelet sizing question
Hi all,I have the newer 5711 with the pins that hold the bracelet links together. Anyone here have any tips or advice on sizing this bracelet. What tools are required? I can always bring it to my AD and get it done but I always like adjusting straps/bracelets on my own. Thanks!
